Patient & Caregiver Resources - Hearing Loss

Whether a hearing loss is small (missing certain sounds) or large (deafness), it is a serious concern. Hearing problems can get worse if they are not treated. Hearing loss is the most common sensory impairment in adults over the age of 65, affecting more than 30% of Canadians in this age group.*
